What's the black stuff on the bottom of the doors?

Don't know. Why not ask the owner of the Maverick you are referring to.

The Nissan Frontier is a good midsized option. The reason, a V6 cyl with no plastic turbo or cutecy engine designs, a regular trans and rear wheel drive. All very simple designs without software fly by wire stuff. The last of this type that you could rely on simplicity. Boy, the new 1/2 ton Chevy with a 3 cylinder motor that cuts out to 2. I believe Ram is going back to the straight 6, another simple reliable design. ICE motors are being pushed way beyond what they can achieve.

What 1/2 ton Chevy uses a 3 cylinder that deactivates 1 cylinder and runs on 2?

I put 167,000 miles on my 2013 F-150 XL 3.7L with the work truck package. Rubber floor. No carpet to get dirty, loved that. Fold out bed side steps. Plenty of power and with an average of 800 pounds of cargo, ranging from zero to 1,500 pounds I managed to average 20 mpg’s with 75% Interstate miles .
It was a fine trouble free truck
By the way boyz, read it and weep,
$20,180.00 Out the door triple T included,
Brand new!
But it was Brandon Ford. The salesman and I had to go to a secondary parking area. We used the key fob to find it amongst the 80 white XL 150’s they had in stock.
There was over 100 in silver.

They don’t cost that anymore and I actually needed AWD but not a full size truck.
For me my loaded Lariat Mav is perfect.

Meant to say Ford Fiesta. Chevies use the 2.7 plastic turbo. Combined the 2

Well to each his own..
Glad that YOU Did enjoy your Mav...

Getting what YOU put into it, maybe a stretch...
A lot of folks, won't have the same Ideas you had.
Over the years, I have seen a lot of "Custom" sell for less, just to get rid of them...

I currently have a 2nd gen Nissan Frontier. It's pretty rock-solid and the kinks are ironed out or well-documented because it was largely mechanically unchanged for its 14-year production run. Also parts are widely available. My truck needed a new slip yoke and new rear axle seals and the parts were there the next morning.

I considered a 3rd gen Nissan Frontier for the reasons you mentioned...only body-on-frame midsize standing with a longitudinal, naturally-aspirated V6. But eh, it's more capability than I need, which are words I thought I'd never say because my truck right before was a Ford F-250, crew cab, 8-foot bed.

And with Ford silently adding PDI and supposedly revising the water jackets on the 2.0L EcoBoost, I'd honestly be fine with either iteration of the 2025+ Maverick. What will be great is having AWD (better in the rain/slush/snow than 4WD), cruising more than 250 miles on a tank of gas (Frontier gets terrible fuel economy AND has a relatively small fuel tank...I'd be fine with one of the two), still being able to tow a 6x12 enclosed U-haul (2200lbs empty), having a bed with the ability to easily transport sheet goods, all in a package that could squeeze into compact spaces or downtown parking garages.

Ok.

Yep, what's all the hoopla about ?

We are supposed to gnash our teeth and rend our clothes because someone might leave the Maverick fold.

Well, at least in the virtual world the door won’t hit you in the ass when ya leave.
Oh the drama, the horror, the horror of it all.

Never mind. After a couple days talking it over with my family and considering my options, I’ve decided to keep the Maverick.

Thank God. I have not slept since your original post worrying about whether you are making the right decision or not. Just kidding, glad you came to a decision that the family agrees with. So the wife said your were keeping the Maverick?

Wife? No, I don’t have one of those. Got rid of her years ago. Too expensive. A sister and a cousin are my sounding boards.

OP, you only live once. If you want an F150, go get one. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

Die with memories, not dreams.
